"Uh...Where do I start? Umm yeah I'm having a father and I'm going to another place," I mumble, she doesn't hear a word I say because I'm just mumbling softly.
"Maya, speak s-l-o-w-l-y," Riley replies.
"I...am...m-," I respond.
"Not that slow," Riley interrupts, her hand on my shoulder, her eyes looking at me.
"Fine, I'm moving," I explain.
"What?! Maya, stop joking, be honest!" Riley shouts, in complete and utter shock.
"Riley, I'm not, my mum met this new guy and we're moving with him to who knows where," I reply.
"What are we going to do?" Riley asks, near to tears.
It looked like I was also going to be crying, I'm holding the water on my eyes, eager to burst. I'm trying to stay strong, it's too challenging.
I suddenly burst into tears.
Riley hugs me.
"I can't bear moving away from here, my mum told me, my birth father moved here to New York but a day after your birth he left so I never really met him and I don't know who he is because my mum wouldn't say anything more about him, every day I would wish he'd suddenly come back to New York but if we leave how will I ever know who my birth father is and I can't bear not being with you Riley, even Farkle, I'm going to miss him always flirting with me and Lucas, he's become a close friend of mine," I cry.
"Don't worry Maya, everything will be okay, let's try and convince your mum for you not to move," Riley replies, patting me on the back.
"But how? My mum never listens to what I have to say!" I answer.
"We'll figure something out, for now let's go back to my apartment," Riley says.
I nod, we walk together back to her apartment, I'm going to miss Riley like a lot, she's like a sister to me, we've done everything together, we've known each other since we were first born.
When we arrive at her apartment, my mum calls me.
"Maya, come home now, I have a surprise for you," my mum instructs.
I hang off on her and close the phone.
"Who was that?" Riley asks.
"My mum, she has a "surprise" for me at home," I answer.
"Then why don't you go?" Riley replies.
"Because it's going to be bad news for sure," I respond.
"Are you sure you won't get in trouble?" Riley says.
"I probably will but I don't care," I tell her.
"If you say so," Riley mumbles.
At her house, we go to her room and just talk about different things, nearly forgetting that I'm moving but the subject comes back when Riley asks a question.
"So what are we going to do about the moving thing?" Riley asks.
"I don't know Riley, if it ends up that I have to move, I'd just come and run away here (A/N: Anyone remember when Topanga did that with Cory in BMW?)," I reply.
"You'd really do that for me?" Riley responds.
I nod, smiling a tiny smile.
"That's so sweet," Riley comments.
We hug each other and we didn't let go until Riley's dad comes in.
"Maya, someone's here to pick you up," Cory says.
Riley and I walk together to see who it is.
"Hello Maya, I'm your mum's fiancée, it's so great to meet you, how about we go and have dinner upstairs," My mum' fiancée instructs.
"Your mum's getting remarried too!?" Riley exclaims.
"Yeah, unfortunately, I'll see you tomorrow at school then," I reply.
My mum's fiancée looked angry for what I said but I see that he's trying to hide it in a smile.
"No you want Maya, because you're not going to school tomorrow, you're going to spend a day with your mum and I," My mum's fiancée says.
"Fine, after school then," I mutter.
"But you're staying at my apartment and we'll be together for the whole day," he interrupts.
"Ugh, okay after tomorrow then and don't you say a word because I am going to see her!" I demand.
Riley and I hug and say our goodbyes, then my mum's fiancée leads me to my mum's apartment.
I honestly already disliked him, he was quite annoying and he smelled weird, he dyed his hair this really ugly green. His eyes always beamed evilly at me which frightened me a lot. How could my mum like such a baboon? Maybe, because they're both evil and they plan to take over the world? Wow, I must have gotten no sleep last night because I am becoming seriously mental.
"So Maya, what do you like to do for fun?" he asks me, trying to start a conversation with me.
"Hang out with my best friend," I mumble.
"That house with that girl, is that you're best friend?" he replies.
Wow, such a great description, he must have failed at creative writing.
"Yeah, why?" I respond.
"No reason, just I don't like her parents much, they seem…weird," my mum's fiancé answer.
He calls them weird? He's even weirder with that green hair. Of course I'm not going to say that out loud, or else I'll probably be punished by my mum.
I just nod, acting like I understand what he means.
"My name's John by the way, but you can call me dad from now on," John comments.
As soon as we arrive at my mum's apartment, John doesn't even bother to knock politely, he literally just opens the door and walks in, if I had ever done that, I would have been slapped hard.
"Hey honey, sorry it took a while, had to wait for Maya to finish talking to her friend," John explains.
"Yeah, she always hangs out with our neighbour, while I'm at work, the babysitter allows her," my mum replies.
What the hell? Does my mum seriously not know, I don't have a babysitter anymore? Example, of how my mum doesn't care about me.
"I see, I'm starving, let's eat!" John exclaims rudely.
I can't believe he would say that!
If John and my mum marry, then my life would be an even scarier nightmare!
My mum walks to the kitchen and brings the plates.
"Maya, stop being so lazy and help me bring out the food!" my mum demands.
"Yes mother," I reply.
I take the food at the counter, which obviously is not the main dish, which is just a bowl of salad.
I wonder how my mum could have made all that food, she must have bought it.
After the table was set, we sit with my mother next to John and I was opposite of my mum.
I wish I could call Riley, I usually had dinner with her because at most times, my mum forgets to make dinner.
I thought of ways to convince my mum for me not to move, maybe they could go and I could stay and live with Riley, my mum doesn't care about me anyway.
Or, I could break my mum and John up but that seems hard since my mum was cuddling next to John and John's feeding her.
Ugh! Disgusting!
I try to eat but it's too hard especially looking at what my mum and her fiancée are doing.
"I think I' done eating, can I head to Riley's apartment?" I ask.
"Of course not! We're going to be spending some time together, no more Riley, you're not going to school up until we move to London in 3 weeks," my mum answers.
My mouth goes wide open, not believing the words my mother had said. The worst part is, I never had a proper goodbye with Riley, secondly spending time with my mum and John is just horrific.
I run to my room, crying, tears flowing down my cheeks.
I've tried to be brave but I can't hold it in any longer, I told John that I would see Riley after tomorrow, I guess I'll somehow find a way, my mum can't just make me move with John, without even packing.
I open my window and walk up the stairs, I knock on Riley's bedroom window, she's sat cross legged on her bed, with her MacBook in front of her, she looks at me, without complete and utter shock gasping.
She opens the window.
"Maya, shouldn't you be having dinner with your mum and her fiancée?"
I nod, tears rolling down my cheeks that seem to never end.
"Then why are you here?"
"I…I…I can't see you…e…ever again if I stay with them."
"What do you mean?"
Riley hands me a tissue," Come inside Maya and explain…everything."
I go inside Riley's apartment, wiping my wet and damp tears.
"Well, when I asked my mum after dinner if I could go to your apartment, she said no and that I wouldn't be seeing you anymore, since we're going to move in with my mother's fiancée, John and we would be spending some family time together and I wasn't going to be going to school up until my mum, John and I moved to London, so I cried in my bedroom and decided to give you a quick visit," I explain.
Maya's eyes are wide open, her jaw is too, she's speechless, I can see she's even more shocked then before.
"Maya… I don't know what to say," Riley replies, hugging me tight.
"Me either," I answer.
We hug and we don't let go, even when 10 minutes pass, we just stay where we were, hugging, wishing we'd never have to let go.
However, we let go at one point, since we can't just do it forever.
"I know we can't hug forever since we have to figure out a way to convince your mum to let you stay here, maybe if she's so keen on going, you can live with us," Riley suggests.
I knew that would be quite hard since although my mum doesn't care about me at all, I always had to go with her everywhere because she was afraid she'd break law rules, which sounded and still does very stupid to me.
"I don't think that would happen," I mumble.
"Why not? I know you love your mum, so it's perfectly fine with me if you want her to be with you, it's just you're my best friend in the whole world, Maya, I don't want to ever lose you," Riley responds.
I chuckle at that, Riley was mine too, however there's only one thing she doesn't know about me which is, she doesn't know that I hate my mum.
I know it's quite cruel to hate your own mother, who feeds you and had to handle with you being in her stomach for 9 months but honestly, this sounds quite bizarre but when I was a baby, I heard something my mother had said about me, I'm 100 percent sure this is true.
She said, she didn't want me.
That hurt, of course I didn't understand those words when I was little, but now that I know how to speak English and I still remember those painful words, I know what she was saying about me and it hurt a lot, thinking that your own birth mother didn't want you.
"Riley, of course I would love to live with you but I don't think it's possible," I answer.
With that, Cory knocks on the door.
"Riley, Shawn Hunter's here!" he exclaims happily.
"Oh no! Where do I hide?" I ask.
I'm so frightened, I don't really know who he is but Riley and especially Cory have told me a lot about him.
However, it's too late to hide, Cory and Shawn open the door.
Cory and Shawn, both look shocked, I understand why Cory's shocked but I don't understand why Shawn is, especially since we've never met before and shouldn't he be greeting Riley instead of me?
"Maya?" Shawn asks, grinning.
"How do you know me?" I ask, confused.
